Question: 1 / 400

Bilateral dislocated fractures of mandibular condyles result in...

Anterior open bite

When the mandibular condyles of both sides of the jaw are dislocated, it results in an anterior open bite where there is a gap between the upper and lower front teeth when biting down. Option B is incorrect because the mandibular movement will actually be limited and hindered due to the dislocation. Option C is also incorrect because dislocated fractures can result in a wider oral opening due to the separation of the jaw bones. Option D is incorrect because the dislocation can actually lead to difficulty in chewing due to the misalignment of the jaw. Therefore, option A is the correct answer as it is the most likely outcome of bilateral dislocated fractures of the mandibular condyles.
